For $50 an hour I would be willing to research and write up a brief account of Scott Alexander's legitimization of white supremacist and white nationalist thought. I expect it would take 2-4 hours to do well.

The burden of proof is on you, the person making allegations. I read Scott's blog occasionally and don't really know if you're right or not, but if you want to prove you're right, do it. If not, this tells me all I need to know, too.

"I don't actually think that your labor is worthwhile" is not actually the winning argument you think it is.

Were you compensated to tweet the initial thread, too? You make a claim, it's up to you whether you want to substantiate it to the audience that you reached. Otherwise, it was directed at your echo chamber, not at people who are willing to change their minds.

This is a very clear demonstration of the "9 liberals + 1 Nazi sitting at a table with them = 10 Nazis" principle Scott wrote a 40,000 word "takedown" of neoreactionaries because he spent months debating with them, hanging out with them, absorbing their worldview

That's not how a normal person handles wackjob Nazis obsessed with how democracy is a failure and we should reinstitute ethnostates based on the divine right of kings The correct response to that is "You're a creep and I'm blocking you"

Scott's "Anti-Neoreactionary FAQ" does the worst thing you can do with people like this It gives them what they crave most - it *takes them seriously*pic.twitter.com/JbjbD6J8in

Scott accepts all of their premises for debate - "Well gosh, let's say the family is falling apart, vs society is in decline, and anxious young men have nowhere to turn" And then debates their points with facts and figures like they have fucking merit

Unsurprisingly, there's no evidence a single actual neoreactionary was somehow convinced to hang up the swastika by this absurdly long-winded document There's plenty of evidence that since writing it, Scott's already disturbing degree of sympathy for them has only increased
